There were multiple variations of "Maxy" cranks. Some were 3-arm, some were 5-arm. Some were 116mm BCD, some were 110mm BCD, some were 144mm BCD. Some had the outer ring permanently swaged to the arm, some had a separate spider swaged to the arm so both rings could be removed. I never could figure out why some got the "Super" designation.
